Can you help Grant McIntosh as his wife Stacey remains in a critical condition in ICU.

Taupo, Waikato

Hey friends and family,

Stacey is a much-loved wife to Grant, mum, and friend who recently underwent heart surgery on the 26th March, which was successful.

What was meant to be a step toward better health has turned into an incredibly difficult journey. Unfortunately, following surgery, Stacey has not regained consciousness and remains in ICU in a critical condition fighting for her life, and her recovery is uncertain.

Grant is by her side every step of the way, facing emotional and financial stress no one could ever prepare for.

We are creating this page to support Grant during this time—so he can focus on being there for Stacey as well as Shane (their adult special needs son) without the added pressure of day-to-day expenses, and ongoing costs.

Grant is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. He would do anything for anyone and is well known and respected in the Taupo community.

Any contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful difference for Grant. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page would also mean so much.

Thank you for your support, love, and kindness.

Donna Manukonga and Jess Ratana's involvement (page creator)

Grant is our brother and uncle who we love and respect very much. We feel powerless to help him or Stacey in any way and we feel that there are so many caring people who would love to be able to support them while they need it, but don't know how to help.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
